The reddish-winged bare-eye (Phlegopsis erythroptera) is a species of insectivorous passerine bird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil , Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The reddish-winged bare-eye was described by the English bird artist and ornithologist John Gould in 1855 and given the binomial name Formicarius erythroptera.[2]

This species is a specialist ant-follower that relies upon swarms of army ants to flush insects and other arthropods out of the leaf litter.[3][4]
